I will post more when i have some time, what you dont see are press photo's, documents, photo's, Medalls both German and US, and also i got some other small US stuff.

I am still looking for a nice M41 Field Jacket and some nice canteens as you can see...

I also got some nice Dutch documents about the NS (Dutch Railway) to go work at the German Railway, and about the Germans confiscating Bicycles, and a document about where they needed to place the signs (for Jews not allowed). I also got some photo's of paratroopers in Eindhoven. Will post more later, hope you like it and yes, i know it is still small but i dont have to much to spend every month, but i have to start somewhere!

Thanks for looking...

Hi Daan, you have done well collecting I used to collect US kit back in the 1980's.

I see that you also have a few British items in your collection too (Eyeshields, Anti-Gas and the different tins of Foot powder.)

Cheers, Ade.
